3 OS, how should i do it?

[mattgaunt]

Hey everyone

Im planning a new build for summer, one major thing that i want is to have 3 OS (windows xp, vista and linux) running on this machine, BUT i want all of them on seperate hard drives or partitions and then i want a HUGE amount of space for music and videos.

SO what hard drives to people recommend?

Cos i was thinkin maybe 80 GB for each OS and then perhaps a seperate hard drive for all my music and stuff.

also i have heard that by spilting the windows hard drive into different partitions for windows files, work files, and programs, help to make windows faster, is this true? also if so can u set windows up so that it will automatically install your programs to the right partition and same with "My documents?"

why don't you get 2 huge drives, partition the first into 3 sections for each OS, use the othe HD for your media. (You can then access the mdeia from all three OS's)

What bootloader are you planning to use for all 3 OS's? I have a XP, Vista, x68 however I'm putting off the vista install until I can get all three under one bootloader that if fast.
